New Generation Whole House Water Filters

The Whole-House-Max 10 Systemuses advance state-of-the-art catalytic carbon to effectively adsorb difficult chemicals like chloramines which cannot be effectively removed by regular activated carbon filters - plus, it also removes a wide range of chemical and organic contaminants from water including chlorine, VOCs & odors. This new generation whole house water filter incorporates an automatic electronic control head to enhance performance and service life while eliminating the extra cost, maintenance and need for prefilters. It is truly a set and forget it system!

Designed for the ultimate in whole house water purification, the Whole-House-Max uses acid washed high purity granular activated carbon manufactured by steam activation from premium select coconut shell charcoal. The large surface area of our carbon makes it highly porous allowing it to treat between 600,000 to 1,000,000 gallons of water. Due to the purity of its particles, superior oxidation, and filtration capacity, the life span of the media can last up to 10+ years when backwashed properly. This Point-of-Entry whole house filtration system will provide you and your family with an unlimited supply of clean, clear and refreshing water throughout every faucet in your home!

You can enjoy all these benefits:

Chlorine/chloramine free water for softer skin and smoother hair after every shower.

Whole House Max Shipping Method

Our Whole House Max systems are shipped via UPS Ground in high quality double walled boxes with side cushions for extra protection. Since our systems are routinely shipped all over the world, we feel it is vital that the packaging be of top quality and no expense has been spared to ensure your system arrives safely in factory fresh condition.

TIPS ON CHOOSING A SYSTEM:

To assure your highest satisfaction, please choose the right size (gpm) of the water conditioning system that at least matches your household peak demand flow rate. For example, if the most water you will use is to take a shower while doing your laundry and running the dishwasher simultaneously, then your peak demand will be (3+3+3=9) 9 gpm. This means our smallest Green Carbon water system, rated at 10 gpm, is sufficient for you.

Product's Review

system maintenance free and water no smell Review by Logan

Satisfaction

My city water smells like a swimming pool. No kidding! After talking with the tech support from APEC, I buy this one since I am lazy and the system is maintenance free. The water from the faucet now smell as it should be: no smell! Thanks for the great customer support. (Posted on 7/7/2015)

My story Review by Alvin

Satisfaction

My city had a water pipe break a couple weeks ago and I didn’t know about it for the first couple of days. They did issue a warning but obviously I didn’t get the memo. Luckily I didn’t drink the tap water but I was bathing in it. Still I didn’t notice anything strange about the water quality and I chalked it up to my Max system protecting me. It probably saved my behind from soaking in nasty germs and chemicals. Thanks APEC. (Posted on 5/19/2014)

Great for the family Review by Alex

Satisfaction

My daughter has eczema and since we installed the WTS-Max, her skin has gotten noticeably better. My wife says she has less dry scalp and dandruff issues and her skin overall isn’t as dry after a shower. Personally, I haven’t noticed a big health difference, just that the water doesn’t smell like bleach anymore. It might just be that I’m less sensitive to the chemicals in the water but it probably still isn’t a good to bathe in it. As you can imagine, we are quite happy with this system and will strongly recommend it to anyone who has skin problems or just simply wants better water. (Posted on 4/10/2014)

High Quality System Review by Emily

Satisfaction

We just wanted to say that we LOVE our new Wts-Max 10 system. It was installed last week and now our whole family is enjoying healthy chemical-free water. We used to have a smaller whole house filter from another manufacturer but it was hard to tell if it actually did anything. I say this because after installing your system we could really tell the difference right away - no more yucky chlorine and rotten egg smells. Granted that filter was puny compared to yours so maybe it wasn’t adequate for filtering the whole house? I guess you get what you pay for. Very satisfied! (Posted on 3/14/2014)

It really purifies your water Review by Randallking

Satisfaction

Very low price compared their competitors and the unit package and palletizing was done with great care. This max system made my water cleaner than ever before. My previous setup was a 3 system combo and it did not purify water as good compared to this system. Well done Apec!! (Posted on 2/11/2014)

Feels really good Review by Lana

Satisfaction

I was actually expecting the Whole house max system to arrive by UPS ground but it came on a very well protected pallet probably due to the electrical clock on top. My installer installed it rather quickly but the resins inside needs to be flushed initially. After installation from the first day on, the water feels beautiful on my hair and skin and hair. My previous system did not do the same. This is really a wonderful system for anyone who wants to improve their water feel. (Posted on 1/24/2014)

Great 2 for 1 System Review by Sergio Cardenas

Satisfaction

I was doing some shopping around looking for a whole house system to remove chlorine as well as some sediment in the process. If anything the most I could find are the standard big blue dual stage type of filtration systems. With that I would have to replace the filters monthly if not yearly and was looking for more something of a "maintenance free" type of design. I contacted APEC water systems to see if there were any other options available and a friendly representative informed and guided me through the differences between their filtration systems. I was sold on their WTS-MAX model as this was the perfect system I was looking for! Thanks APEC! (Posted on 1/20/2014)

Great home investment Review by Joe not the plumber

Satisfaction

Let me start by saying that the water quality has been excellent. I was initially torn about whether or not to spend so much money on a water filtration system, but not anymore. The improvement in water is such that I really look forward to taking my showers and doing my laundry now cause my skin and hair have never felt better! If you toss in the other health benefits of the system, it will probably more than pays for itself in a year or two? Anyways, I am happy. Thanks. (Posted on 1/7/2014)

Recommended for strong chemical smell Review by familyties

Satisfaction

The area where I live has chemicals due to fracking and my neighbors and I have decided to get a chemical removing system for whole house protection as well as drinking system. I purchased this model max-10 because my home has only 2 bathrooms and a reverse osmosis 45 for drinking water. The max-10 has done a superb job because we used to have the really strong chemical odor now it's gone. Drinking water system has also performed like I expected removed almost all of the contaminants based on my water tester. My neighbors are estatic and have purchased from you after I installed the unit. I guess I was the guinea pig. Thank you freedrinkingwater for your tremedous products and service.

Completely satisfied Review by Sharon Zhang

Satisfaction

I am very happy with the Max 10 system. Ordering it online was a breeze the system arrived quickly and well packaged. My plumber did have some questions about the installation but your support personnel were very helpful and cordial. Most importantly, the water quality is excellent. 5 stars! (Posted on 10/8/2013)

Chloramine removal Review by June

Satisfaction

Just installed one of your Wts-max systems and the water is great! I was so happy to find your product because our city water uses chloramines and most of the whole house filters online are only rated for chlorine removal. This system will also last me many years without needing to replace filters which should save me money in the long run. Thanks for a great product! (Posted on 6/7/2013)
